Chapter 195: Full Repression, Feeling Targeted

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the three of them were chatting, a female voice suddenly teased, “Little Li, why are you starting to get carried away after winning once?”

The few of them turned around and realized that the person who spoke was a beautiful woman in a professional dress. Her smooth long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a pair of glasses on her high nose bridge, adding to her intellectual beauty.

“So it’s Sister Shan!”

Li Kaifu recognized them and hurriedly introduced them to both parties.

“Brother Wang, lord Fang, this is the assistant of our Academy Head. Shen

Shanshan, Assistant Shen—Sister Shan, these two are the helpers I found…”

“Wang Xiao and Fang Tianyu.”

Shen Shanshan called out their names. “The two of you are real geniuses, especially lord Wang. Your performance in the lord competition was really impressive… I really didn’t expect Little Li to actually invite you over!”

“Assistant Shen, you flatter me.”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo hurriedly nodded slightly in greeting.

After Li Kaifu introduced the two sides, he immediately revealed a puzzled expression. “Sister Shan, aren’t you in charge of issuing the secret realm key?

Why are you here?”

“You even know that I’m in charge of issuing the secret realm key?”

Shen Shanshan glared at Li Kaifu and took out three secret realm keys that were shining with golden light. “The second round of the advancement competition will begin in a few minutes. Everyone else has taken the keys, and you’re the only one still wandering around. Did you get carried away after winning once?”

“Aiyo! I forgot about this!”

Li Kaifu slapped his forehead in realization and hurriedly took the secret realm key with a smile. “It’s really been hard on you, Sister Shan!”

“Cut it out! Treat me to a meal later!”

Shen Shanshan patted Li Kaifu angrily and nodded at Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo. “I still have something on, so I won’t accompany you guys… I hope you can also achieve good results in the second round.”

This was originally a very normal polite sentence, but looking at Shen Shanshan’s half-smile, Wang Xiao inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

However, before Wang Xiao could test her, Shen Shanshan hurriedly left. Immediately after, a low hum sounded again. The secret realm keys in the hands of the three of them began to flicker rhythmically.

“Oh my god! Ten minutes are over so quickly?”

Li Kaifu exclaimed in fear. He composed himself and greeted, “Brother Wang, lord Fang, I’ll have to trouble you this time!”

With that said, Li Kaifu was the first to crush the secret realm key. Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo immediately followed.

Golden light flashed and the three of them appeared on an island.

Although it was called a small island, it was actually more like a reef that was exposed to the water. Its area was less than ten steps long and wide, and it was surrounded by endless blue water.

“This is… the marine environment?”

Li Kaifu sized up the surroundings and guessed. He accidentally glanced at Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo and suddenly realized that their expressions were extremely ugly.

Li Kaifu’s heart skipped a beat. “Brother, Brother Wang, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?”

Wang Xiao opened his mouth awkwardly, but he did not seem to know what to say. After a while, he whispered, “Brother Li, I’m afraid you can only rely on yourself this time…”

“On myself?”

Li Kaifu’s face turned pale. “Brother Wang, don’t joke! If I can handle it myself, why did I invite you here?”

“I’m not joking.. ‘

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly and said, “You’ve seen the environment here. If we want to find other teams, we definitely have to use the water path. However, I don’t have any water-type mutated beasts… We can only say that we’re unlucky this time.”

“What if we freeze the water?”

Li Kaifu looked at Zhou Xiruo, who had transformed into Fang Tianyu. “I remember that you’re an [element lord]. Freezing the water should be very simple, right? I can provide a venue card!”

“Ah? 1… 1..

Zhou Xiruo, who was suddenly asked, was instantly speechless. Logically speaking, this method should be feasible, but the problem was that she was not Fang Tianyu at all!

Seeing that Zhou Xiruo was about to reveal a flaw, Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and tried to smooth things over. “This method won’t work. The water here is too deep. It’s very difficult to freeze the bottom.”

“However, if we don’t freeze the bottom, not only will this floating ice run around with the water, but the enemy can also shatter the floating ice and make us lose our footing. At that time, it will be dangerous.”

“Then what if we use the reef as the foundation? Can we freeze a piece of water around and use it as a battlefield?”

Li Kaifu continued to ask. Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, he ran to the side of the reef to observe.

Zhou Xiruo saw this and her heart was in her throat. She went to Wang Xiao’s side and whispered, “The method he mentioned seems to be feasible… Why don’t we confess?”

“There’s no point in confessing.”

Wang Xiao sighed and replied softly, “We don’t have the talent of an [Elemental lord]. The venue card can only freeze the water for a hundred meters at most. It’s not enough to serve as a battlefield at all. Moreover, the area here is too small. We can’t even build the [Flame Magic Tower]…”

At this point, Wang Xiao’s expression suddenly changed slightly. He looked at Zhou Xiruo and asked softly, “Do you think we’re being targeted?”

“Targeted?”

Zhou Xiruo looked confused. “What do you mean?”

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t know how to describe it either. Logically speaking, the distribution of the arena is random, but I don’t have any water-type mutated beasts, and the land area isn’t enough for you to build fortifications… Isn’t this a little too unlucky?”

“It doesn’t seem to be that bad?”

Zhou Xiruo replied suspiciously, “The environment in the secret realm is complicated and changeable to begin with. Moreover, I haven’t seen any other teams yet. Perhaps there’s a large area of land nearby?”

‘ ..We can’t rule out this possibility.”

Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and nodded. Then, he summoned the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] along with his territory. “Then let’s fly out and take a look. It’s too easy for others to target us if we wait here.”

He called Li Kaifu, who was still studying how to freeze the sea, and the three of them climbed onto the back of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. Then, they soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

At the same time.

In the surveillance room under the Nine Heavens Academy, when Shen Shanshan saw the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] appear on the screen, she immediately perked up and called out, “Draw an image immediately! Identify the type and specific level of the mutated beast as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”

The surrounding staff agreed and immediately began to get busy.

Shen Shanshan went out to the next room. Academy Head Jiang was looking through the first batch of information.

Seeing Shen Shanshan, Academy Head Jiang casually put down the folder. “Is everything done?”

“Yeah.”

Shen Shanshan nodded. “We’ve already followed the plan and let them enter the [Star Fragmented Sea]. There are also three students from Class o in the same group. Their talents are [Sea God Apostle], [Bloodline Berserk], and [Hypnotist] who can hypnotize mutated beasts.”

“A complete suppression, from the venue to the soldiers…”

Academy Head Jiang pondered for a moment. “Prepare a screen for me. I want to see how Wang Xiao will deal with it this time..”
